Everyone Belongs: Celebrate Harmony Week

Harmony Week (16 – 22 March 2026) is a national celebration honouring the rich cultural diversity that shapes Australia and our Northern Beaches community. It brings people together through shared values of inclusiveness, respect and belonging. 

Here on the Northern Beaches, we value the many cultures, languages, traditions and stories that make our area vibrant. Harmony Week is a reminder that when we embrace our differences, we build a stronger and more connected community.
